Their first match against arch-rivals Pakistan is scheduled for September 2nd in Kandy. As captain, Rohit aims to secure his second Asia Cup title.

This upcoming continental event marks the start of a busy season for the Indian cricket team, with two significant 50-over format tournaments on the horizon, including the 2023 World Cup.

A reporter mentioned the anticipation for the Asia Cup, to which Rohit responded with his trademark wit, “Jeetege,” winning over-eager fans who are eager to witness India’s success.

Before departing for Sri Lanka, the Indian team will conduct a week-long training camp at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. Although there’s no official confirmation, it’s expected that Rohit will be part of the assembly process over the next few days.

Recent squad announcements for the 2023 Asia Cup brought relief to fans. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul’s fitness clearance ended the team management’s concerns about the middle-order vacancies. Notably, Jasprit Bumrah and promising talent Prasidh Krishna made their return to the ODI setup after recovering from extended injury breaks. The selection of uncapped Tilak Varma was an unexpected surprise, while Yuzvendra Chahal’s absence from the squad raised eyebrows.

India’s opening match against Pakistan on September 2nd at Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy marks a pivotal moment. Although Pakistan and Sri Lanka are co-hosting the tournament, all of India’s matches will take place in Sri Lanka.

Rohit Sharma, who previously led the team to victory in the 2018 Asia Cup, aims to repeat his success as captain. During that period, regular captain Virat Kohli was rested following an exhaustive all-format tour of England, leading to Rohit’s leadership. The nation now eagerly awaits Rohit’s leadership prowess in the upcoming tournament.
